How I helped my brother win a trip; my first real world vulnerability

c# and python both seem like overkill for this, a loop in a shell script and curl are all you need. Nevertheless, great story!

Hi!
Thank you for the positive response, it helps me a lot!
Yes c# is an overkill, but that's the language I'm the most familiar with, and I needed to get the job done quickly. As for python, I'm just starting to learn a few programming languages which can be used for linux too! And I have the most experience with python, from that area.
I don't really know curl, I know it's a networking tool, but that's all I know about it. So I need to look up curl later.

Both chrome and firefox have a "Copy as curl" option for events in the network viewer, that you can use to re-run the request with curl from a cli. A complex post can be intimidating, but a complete working command is a good way to learn how it works.
